The San Diego defense has forced at least one turnover in all 13 games this season.

The Chargers are tied for the NFL-lead in turnovers, forcing 25 on the season including three or more in four different games. The significant turnover total has created just five top-10 fantasy performances for the Chargers D/ST in 2016, as San Diego is 29th among NFL defenses in points allowed at 26.7 points per game. The Chargers D/ST is a middle-tier fantasy option at home against Oakland in Week 15. Sat, Dec 17, 2016 12:50:00 PM

The San Diego defense has forced 11 turnovers in four games since Week 7.

San Diego is tied for the NFL-lead in turnovers over the last five weeks, which includes the Chargers' bye. While the Chargers D/ST has recorded just three sacks in that same span, the turnover binge has made the unit a top-five fantasy performer in three of San Diego's last four games. The Chargers D/ST is worth a start again in Week 13 at home against Tampa Bay. Wed, Nov 30, 2016 04:58:00 PM

The Chargers D/ST has turned in three top-10 fantasy finishes in the last four weeks.

San Diego's recent defensive surge includes six turnovers and three defensive touchdowns in their last two games. Miami will visit San Diego in Week 10, bringing a revamped rushing attack led by RB Jay Ajayi. Despite the encouraging fantasy output in recent weeks, the Chargers D/ST will be a mid-tier fantasy option against Miami, as the Dolphins have been an extremely tough matchup for fantasy defenses over the last month.

San Diego will look to repeat a solid Week 6 defensive performance when the Chargers and Broncos face off for the second time in 18 days.

The Chargers topped the Broncos 21-13 in Week 6, racking up two sacks and two turnovers along the way. San Diego is 2-6 against Denver under coach Mike McCoy and could creep back to .500 with another victory. Led by rookie star DE Joey Bosa, the Chargers D/ST is trending in the right direction but is a mid-tier fantasy option in Week 8 on the road. Tue, Oct 25, 2016 07:41:00 PM
